In this paper, we explain the structure and function of different types of figures and provide guidance on how to create effective figures for radiological research publications.Based on scientific literature and our own experience, we have compiled a series of instructions to support the purposeful creation of effective figures for radiological research publications.Effective figures play a crucial role in radiological research publications by clearly visualizing complex content and thereby enhancing its comprehensibility. Different types of figures have distinct strengths that should be strategically employed for optimal impact. The interplay between figures weaves the “common thread” of a publication, facilitating reader comprehension and providing a straightforward path to the answer of the central research question. The systematic coordination (line of evidence) and effective design of individual figures are crucial to compellingly support the publication’s central hypothesis.The deliberate creation and coordination of figures in radiological research publications are decisive factors for successful publishing.

“…Case reports have been proven to be helpful in recognizing new diseases, generating hypotheses for future research, and guiding healthcare and treatment toward individualization and customization (2,3). In radiology, case reports play an important role in presenting a new disease or an unusual form of a common disease using radiological images (4). The annual number of published radiological case reports has increased over the past 20 years (5).…”

“…A systematic assessment of the quality of case reports revealed that technical and editorial errors were frequent. Common problems in case reports include a lack of description of patient symptoms, a failure to identify the main outcomes, and a failure to draw conclusions (1,2,4). Thus, reporting in case reports needs to be improved in several ways.…”

Background: In radiology, case reports play an important role in the presentation of a new disease or an unusual form of a common disease using radiological images. Radiology practitioners can refer to the CAse REport (CARE) statement to write and improve the quality of case reports; however, some CARE items are not applicable to the field of radiology. This protocol seeks to describe the methods and processes used to develop CARE extensions for radiology. Methods:We plan to extend the existing CARE guidelines to radiological case reports. We will follow the steps recommended by the Enhancing the QUAlity and Transparency Of health Research (EQUATOR) network to develop the CAse Report for Radiology (CARR) statement and checklist for the reporting of case reports. The working group will constitute a multidisciplinary international team of experts, including methodologists, content experts (radiologists and clinicians), journal editors, and possibly consumer representatives. We will discuss and generate a list of initial items based on the CARE statement. Two to three rounds of the Delphi survey will be administered and an online consensus meeting will be held to reach a consensus and develop the final CARR checklist. The full reporting guidelines should be finalized within 1.5 years. Discussion:The annual number of published radiological case reports has increased over the past 20 years; however, the quality of reporting still needs to be improved. Our protocol envisages the process and methodology for the development of the CARR guidelines, which we anticipate will be available soon and will help radiology practitioners.Trial Registration: We have registered the protocol on the EQUATOR network (https://www.equatornetwork.org/library/reporting-guidelines-under-development/reporting-guidelines-under-development-forobservational-studies/#CARR)

“…Bannas has discussed the instructions for writing various components of a structured radiological case report. [2] A guideline named CARE guidelines mentions 13 item checklist for writing case reports. [3] Knowledge of these will help the author to prepare a good manuscript.…”
